知床の旅は随分前に決めていたのですが、天気がどうなるか分からず,細かいスケジュールを決めていませんでした。知床五湖のトレッキングツアーを申し込んだのは,東京を旅立つ前日でしたが、幸いにも、気さくなガイド山崎さんに案内していただくことができました。参加者は、海外からの3名と私達夫婦を含む日本人3名の6名。英語と日本語を使って,時折クイズを交えながら、知床五湖の自然と歴史を分かりやすく伝えながら案内してくださいました。二湖では、向こう岸にいたオスのエゾシカがゆったりとこちらに向かって泳ぎ出し、すぐ目の前の岸に上がると草を喰み、そのまま私たちの前を歩いて行くのを間近に見守ることができました。青空と知床連山、その姿を鏡のように映す五つの湖の美しさにうっとり。その前で記念写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。最後の高架木道を歩いている時、熊が現れたという情報が山崎さんの無線に入り、少し前に遊歩道で見たヒグマが掘り返した土の跡や木の幹の爪痕が、生々しく思い出されました。山崎さんには昼食の美味しいお店や海から見る知床についても教えていただき、大変参考になりました。おかげで、しっかり腹ごしらえをした後、その日の午後に小型観光船でルシャ海岸までクルーズしてヒグマやたくさんの鹿に会えました。唯一の心残りは山崎さんとの写真を一枚も撮っていなかったことです。
